Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed anger management counseling for individuals struggling with anger, emotional reactivity, frustration, irritability, conflict in relationships, and difficulty managing intense emotions. Many people experiencing anger issues feel overwhelmed by recurring triggers, emotional outbursts, relationship tension, or patterns of reacting in ways they later regret. Anger is often connected to deeper emotional pain, unresolved trauma, chronic stress, past experiences, or unmet emotional needs.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anger management therapy, helping clients understand the underlying causes of anger rather than simply trying to suppress emotions or control behavior on the surface. Together, you will explore emotional triggers, past experiences, relationship dynamics, stress responses, and unresolved trauma that may be contributing to patterns of anger, defensiveness, emotional shutdown, or interpersonal conflict.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process unresolved experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and develop healthier ways of coping and communicating. Therapy focuses on creating lasting emotional change, improving self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and restoring a greater sense of balance and control.
Many individuals struggling with anger have been told to simply “calm down” or “stop reacting,” yet lasting change often requires deeper healing work. When anger is connected to unresolved trauma, stress, anxiety, shame, or painful life experiences, talk therapy alone may not fully address the root causes. Brad’s approach focuses on identifying and healing the underlying emotional wounds and trigger points that continue to fuel unhealthy patterns and relationship difficulties.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals. Clients are provided with a safe, non-judgmental space to openly explore emotions, relationship struggles, communication challenges, and the deeper issues affecting their emotional well-being. Treatment may also include repairing damaged relationships, improving communication, strengthening emotional regulation, and creating healthier interpersonal dynamics at home, work, and in personal relationships.
Healing and change are possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond destructive anger patterns, develop healthier emotional responses, improve relationships, and create a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online anger management therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Jeanine M Swenson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MD, LMFT
Many people have a host of legitimate reasons for being angry, however, anger can be a very energy-draining state that can have a negative impact on health, relationships and careers. I use evidence-based techniques to gradually diminish the anger response.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have worked with individuals in both voluntary and court-ordered anger management treatment. I support those whose anger affects relationships, work, and overall emotional well-being. Drawing on extensive clinical experience providing anger management in community mental health and private practice settings—including facilitating court-ordered and voluntary anger management groups—I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anger develops in the brain and nervous system.
Anger is a natural emotional response that often builds from underlying stress, frustration, fear, or feeling unheard or out of control. When the nervous system becomes easily activated, reactions can become quicker and more intense, making it difficult to pause, think clearly, and respond effectively. Together, we explore the emotional and physiological triggers that contribute to anger while building awareness of how quickly the body can shift into a reactive state.
I teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, increase impulse control, and improve communication. Clients learn how to recognize early signs of escalation, express needs more effectively, and respond rather than react. My approach is direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental, helping individuals develop greater emotional control, accountability, and more stable, respectful relationships.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino and East African communities — particularly Hmong and Somali residents — are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
